So ya...not everyone is the pillar of enlightenment at an AA meeting. Some are..plenty aren't. They are human. This world is full of humans... I still choose to be part of it.
Yah, the drama at this particular meeting was just too much for me. It's unfortunate b/c it was the closest one to me (I take transit now again).
But the hypocrisy and just plain old crap I saw there was just too much for me. I did like another meeting though they made us go to and if I go the AA route again, it will be that one I head to
it seemed a lot more genuine than this soap opera.
